Most people with MS have attacks, also called relapses, when the condition gets noticeably worse. They’re usually followed by times of recovery when symptoms improve. For other people, the disease continues to get worse over time.

According to the vast majority of doctors there is no cure for Multiple Sclerosis, nevertheless several people have been able to cure themselves whether it is from MS, Cancer or other degenerative diseases.
